Overview

  • Giri Nathan’s book, Changeover: A Young Rivalry and a New Era of Men’s Tennis, was released August 19 by Gallery Books.
  • It frames Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner as the sport’s central duel, noting they have combined to win the last seven majors.
  • The narrative traces back to their 5-hour, 15-minute 2022 U.S. Open classic that foreshadowed the shift at the top of men’s tennis.
  • Recent results include a 2025 French Open final won by Alcaraz, a Wimbledon final won by Sinner, and Sinner’s 2025 Australian Open title.
  • Sinner’s late-2024 doping controversy resulted in a three-month suspension and lingering peer skepticism, while Nathan details reporting constraints and his meticulous note-taking, including insights shared at an August 19 New York event.
